Knock! Knock!

"Opportunity knocks only once", they say, but that is not true. As for me, it knocks more than once, however, though we recognize its existence, we just ignore and let it slip away and so we wonder what happened and search for their whereabouts.

Opportunity knocks like strangers at your door. Sometimes we don't allow them to come in on the grounds that we are scared to just let them in considering the unpredictable outcome they may bring us, good or bad. The stranger that already knocked at your door might never again knock same as the way it is. If it will knock again, it will be different - could be better or worse, who knows?

I was jogging with my dear friend Nhess at the park only this afternoon and we were talking about life - what our lives has been in the UK. We talked about career and love life. We're happy to say that we already found our destiny (in the name of Jay and Ryan). Suffice to say, our love life is OK. Then with our working career, we ended up with the question, "Bakit ba lagi na lang ganito?". I couldn't elaborate furthermore, it's just that the right job is way too elusive at the moment (maybe). We desperately go in search of opportunities and put in all our efforts to make things happen, I see nothing wrong in taking each and every chance as long as you are doing it one at a time. I mean, take one opportunity after the other. If we're able to grab one and found out that it's not working, we let it go. No regrets.

Many of us get the right opportunity but we fail to make the best use of it. We don't act diligently upon the opportunity grabbed. We are eager for quick results but we were lazy enough to work on it. Honestly, I have to say I was one of those whose seeking for instant pleasure, until I came to ponder deeply that immediate pleasure was just some basic tendency of human mind who's tied up with the idea of doing little things and expecting massive gratification. Right now I'm aiming for long term satisfaction. I would if I could with the help of GOD, constantly tame my mind to seek permanent happiness in life and not look for instant pleasure.

I pray to the Lord that HE will bless us with the ability to identify right opportunity, attitude to honestly work on it and sincerity to make the best use of it. Minsan lang dumating ang magandang oportunidad sa buhay naten, kaya naman samantalahin naten ang pagkakataong ito. Let us dodge our inhibitions and take the risks of grasping a certain chance, maybe we'll be ahead of the game.

I will end this blog with this quotation,

“Don’t spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, that you miss the right opportunity. Whether you’ve found your calling, or if you’re still searching, passion should be the fire that drives your life’s work.” -- Michael Dell

Thank you Dear GOD for inspiring me.

Goodnight everone! :)
